Meet the Midwives
-

Mary
I’m Mary, a community midwife and have been practising for three and a half years (and counting!). I originally studied Accounting and completed my degree, but before graduating I realised my true passion was midwifery. People often describe me as bubbly, smiley, and caring, qualities I bring to every class. My goal is for every woman and her birthing partner to leave feeling empowered, confident, and enlightened.

Ivy
My name is Ivy, and I’m a midwife with just over 2.5 years of experience working primarily in low-risk labour care. I absolutely love what I do and feel so lucky to support women and families during such an incredible moment in their lives. I’m known for my bubbly personality, and I try to bring positive energy and calm confidence into every birth space. I'm really looking forward to meeting and growing with you all in this course!

Susanah
Dedicated midwife with several years of experience in both nursing & midwifery. I have supported many women & families through some of the most important moments of their lives. My true passion lies in education, empowering all women, especially Black women, with knowledge about their bodies, choices, and health. I believe learning should be clear, engaging, and even fun, because when we’re informed, we’re powerful.
